Paws for PRIDE
Congratulations to last week’s Paws for PRIDE winners: Jayani Y, Mrs. Thomas, Ellie Y, Sadie C, Rohan, R, Agam S, Leah H, Sahil P, and Mrs. Bucher’s 6th grade class.
Students, classes, and teachers are chosen at random to be recognized and celebrated for demonstrating one of our five character traits - Pride, Respect, Individual Responsibility, Determination & Empathy. Thank you to all of the Titus families for your support of our Paws for PRIDE program.
PSSA Time!
Grades 3-6 will be participating in our state-wide PSSA tests starting on April15th. The following is our testing schedule here at Titus, with all testing happening in the morning:
- English/Language Arts – April 15th, 16th, 17th
- Math – April 29th & 30th
- Science (4th grade only) – May 1st & 2nd
The best way to prepare for these assessments is to get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast. If anyone is absent during a testing day, the makeup test will be administered upon the student’s return. If you have any questions regarding any of the testing please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Horan.
iRun4Life - Off To A GREAT Start!
iRun4Life participants had a busy and fun session learning about the good deeds portion of the program on Wednesday. Dale Wetherill from the Travis Manion Foundation came to talk to the kids and help introduce our service project. We also got outside to run the full course on another beautiful day!
For more information on the Travis Manion Foundation and what they do to help fallen heroes, check out https://www.travismanion.org. More information will be coming home next week on how you can help to honor fallen heroes.

Yearbook News - Attn: 6th Grade Parents
Once again, we would like to celebrate the graduating 6th grade class by looking back at the friendships and memories they have made at Titus by including a couple “Memory” pages in the yearbook.
In order to do this we need your help! If each of you could look through old pictures from your 6th grader’s years at Titus and share them by following the directions below; we should be
able to put together some nice pages.
Here is how you can submit photos online:
- Go to: https://images.memoryebooks.com/login
- If it does not automatically log you into the site, enter username: 411453673
- Browse to select the photo(s) you wish to upload.
- Enter information about the photo( 6th grade -OLD PHOTO) and provide contact information in case the staff needs additional information.
- Click "Save Details."
Here are some things to think about as you select pictures:
- Group shots work great because we can include more students.
- Please understand, I may not be able to use every photograph I receive, but will do my best to ensure all 6th graders are represented.
- Please upload all pictures by Friday, March 29th.
Save the Date
Friday, April 26th is the Daughter and Special Friend dance. CLICK HERE TO RSVP!
Parent volunteers are needed to help make this night special. Please consider signing up to help out - click here to see the various opportunities.
